How to cancel QuickBooks

A quick, up-to-date guide to cancelling QuickBooks — and keeping proof that you did, in case you're charged anyway.

Before you click cancel: the moment you cancel is exactly when proof matters. CancelProof records your cancellation — the pages, the clicks, the confirmation — so if QuickBooks bills you after you cancel, you have a refund pack ready. Add to Chrome — Free

Cancel QuickBooks in 5 steps

  1. Sign in at quickbooks.intuit.com from a web browser (the account admin cancels).
  2. Open the gear icon → 'Account and settings' → 'Billing & subscription'.
  3. Select 'Cancel subscription' / 'Cancel' for QuickBooks Online and follow the prompts.
  4. Export your company data first if you'll need it after access ends.
  5. Get a cancellation confirmation and keep it.

What happens after you cancel

You keep QuickBooks Online access until the end of the current billing period, then it stops; your data stays available read-only for about a year per Intuit's policy — export first to be safe. Trials convert to paid, so cancel before the trial ends.

Subscribed through Apple, Google, or another provider?

If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, cancel in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions instead of at quickbooks.intuit.com.

Charged after cancelling QuickBooks?

It happens more than it should. If a charge lands after you cancelled, here's how to get your money back from QuickBooks — and why documented proof is what makes the difference.

Frequently asked questions

Will QuickBooks charge me after I cancel?
It shouldn't. After you cancel, QuickBooks keeps your access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for, then stops billing. If a charge still appears, see our guide on being charged after cancelling QuickBooks.
Does cancelling QuickBooks delete my account?
No. Cancelling stops future billing but usually keeps your account so you can return later. Deleting your account is a separate action in QuickBooks's settings.
How do I know my QuickBooks cancellation worked?
Look for a cancellation confirmation email from QuickBooks and check that your account shows the plan ending. Keeping that confirmation — an email or a screenshot — is your proof if there's ever a dispute.

Cancelling something? Keep the proof.

CancelProof records your cancellation automatically — so if you're charged anyway, you're covered.
